Procrastination in Moderation

The Doctor named Seuss was such a great man.

He wrote words so deftly like few others can.

In fact, to this day we honor his rhyme,

Or, I do, at least, to waste all my time.

 

It's odd how with frequence I get up the urge

To write tiny ditties: a poetry surge.

I'm volted to pen any number of things,

Shocking, to me, like a staticky sting.

 

Whenever I am s'posed to be working,

I notice that my duties I'm shirking.

Perhaps without pressure my mind is more fun,

But by the same token, I get nothing done.

 

Maybe I study so well that it spills

Onto my other thinking-type skills.

My mind works so hard that it often requires

More wood to fuel my thinking cap's fires.

 

Anyways, I'm probably ******* for my test.

I wish I could say that I studied my best,

But honesty stabs me for truth til I'm ******

The truth is that I fail when I "study."
